HOROSCOPE | JACQUELINE BIGAR

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You seem to go where the unexpected occurs. Use caution with any financial decisions. Do not overthink an offer at the moment. You might need to lessen your load rather than take on more responsibilities. Consider this possibility, and you’ll begin to mellow out. Tonight: Out late.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Your determination could be met by someone else’s stubbornness. It might be easier and more efficient to go along with this person’s wishes, unless you find his or her ideas impossible. Your response is likely to surprise many people. Tonight: Could go until the wee hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Reach out to someone who helps you see the big picture. You could be taken aback by what you see when you let go of being right. Armed with more understanding, you can find a midpoint of agreement between yourself and others. Tonight: Make it OK to be self-indulgent.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ Come to an agreement with others. You will see a situation much differently if you can walk away from your position. A meeting could surprise you with its agenda. The topic might not feel as on-target as you might like. Flow with the moment. Tonight: Make time for a friend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ You could feel as if you are being pulled in different directions. You might find that you enjoy yourself more and become less and less invested in what you see as problems. Consider being less available to difficult people. Tonight: Accept an appealing invitation to a party.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Reach out to a loved one at a distance who understands you well. This person’s comments could open you up to another perspective. Caring evolves as others witness your attempt to understand where they are coming from. Open up to a possible change. Tonight: Exercise first.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ You could be confused by someone with whom you felt you had a steady agreement. Suddenly uproar occurs. You can do very little to return to what was, nor should you want to. Release what is frivolous or unneeded, and proceed. Tonight: Time for some fun and games.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ You might find that a friend suddenly becomes unstable. Do not wonder what is needed. Let go, and allow this person to be who he or she is. Sometimes everyone needs to break free of constraints -- self-imposed or otherwise. Express understanding. Tonight: Head home early.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ Open up to a new idea that could invigorate your life and make it much more exciting. At first this possibility could shake you up. The more you think about it, the more enthusiastic you become. Do not push another person away. Tonight: Invite a favorite person to join you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ A child or new friend topples your sense of well-being with his or her unpredictability. Rather than react, take a hard look at what is occurring and let go of the unneeded. Sometimes difficulties stem from too much to do and from being overwhelmed. Tonight: Pay bills first.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ You feel differently than you have in a while. A shake-up, while upsetting, frees you up to do what you really want. If you are not sure of your true desires, take some time to re-evaluate. Encourage simplification. Tonight: Surround yourself with people you value and trust.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ You make an effort by reaching out to others. Though everyone might not respond, you could hear news that is likely to shock you. Relax and allow the situation to unfold naturally; soon you will realize what is motivating or triggering it. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.
